In the spirit of thinking outside the coffin…er…box… consider the Drill Master 80 Piece Rotary Tool Kit to carve yourself an epic jack-o-lantern! Imagine the works of art you could make out of squash-genus vegetables. Not just for pumpkins, though, this awesome tool is great for cutting, grinding, polishing, sharpening, engraving and drilling for all kinds of Halloween crafts and hobbies. Works on metal, wood, rock, plastic, wax… and your dog’s toenails– seriously!

On the other hand, if you’re more Old Skull… um… School… this 4-piece wood chisel set is an eeeeex-cellent alternative! If you love cutting into a fresh pumpkin, inhaling the rich tangy smell, and getting your hands sticky gooey whilst scooping out the guts, this would be your poison. The wood carving set cuts into the pumpkin like butter and you are able was able to control the cutting easily. This heat-treated, high carbon steel set has straight bevels and PVC handles for a comfortable grip, and come in 1″, 3/4″, 1/2″ and 1/4″ sizes.

Plunge, slice and dismember foam and more, to make kooky spooky props with this crafter’s favorite–the hot knife! Harbor Freight’s 130 watt hot knife will make quick business out of cleanly cutting foam and plastic materials. It’s got a depth-adjusting sled for more control and a safety auto-off feature. Perfect for creating graveyards and carving faux pumpkins!

While this would have been an excellent tool for burning witches back in the day, we’ve got a whole different (and perhaps a slightly more PC) idea for Halloween: “aging” wood props. If you’re planning on having a casket or two lying around the yard, an rotting cemetery fence or some other “old” wood display, this propane torch is great for getting the right look. Here’s a customer video on how it works:

Since you’ll be at Harbor Freight already, you can’t leave without grabbing a handful of the popular mini LED lights. These incredible values are perfect for the little monsters to carry while trick-or-treating, and for using to showcase tombstones, limbs, nooses and ghosties back at the castle! The mini light features a knurled barrel for quality grip and an easy push-button on/off switch to illuminate the dark passages. A convenient tool for any tomb or keep one in the hearse’s glove box.

Make Harbor Freight one of your favorite haunts this Halloween! If you don’t carve your pumpkin with a low-priced Harbor Freight tool, you’re out of your gourd!
